Japanese sweets housewares chain Nitori has introduced a collection of cushion designs inspired by popular wagashi, or Japanese sweets. Mochimochi cushions, known for their "squeezably soft" texture, now come in the shapes of taiyaki, dorayaki, kuri manju, and a waffle design.

Lastly, the Waffle Mochimochi Cushion offers a unique waffle-inspired design, completing the set of Japanese sweets-inspired cushions from Nitori.
